Though, of course, a lot of adults who like to complain about such characters (Anakin, EP II) tend to forget when they were teenagers, they were punks too.
Hamlet was a punk. Tetsuo was a punk. Nobody complains about punks.
Anakin is a punk in the same way that Jar-Jar is a comedy relief sidekick.
Because your employer purchased the machine for one and only one reason -- to make them money. They didn't buy it so you could fuck around with it like it was your damned toy.
As far as your boss is concerned, there's no difference between you "trying" to install firebox on your work machine, and the counter person at McDonalds "trying" to install firefox on the cash register.
Someday, you might work in a development or IT job, where your boss feels inclined to trust your judgement, and understands that the increased support costs to keep you running on a non-standard configuration are (probably) outweighed by your increased productivity. But you're not there now.
If you want to dick around with different software for fun, do it at home.
You know, the subject seems to have nothing to do with the article. The submitter was looking for a program for linux. Cliff, however, wrote a completely misleading headline claiming the poster was looking for an open source program.
Here's a clue, you stupid twit -- not all linux programs are open source.

Basics of RAID
·
· Score: 1
Unless of course the RAID controller corrupts all the data, but I'm not sure I've ever seen that happen.
It happens all the time. In certain circumstances, RAID can improve your uptime. It is never a substitute for backups.
I *think* it's parody. But hell, I can't tell either.
Every Hard drive has a unique IP address. An IP address is used by the internet so the governmnet can keep track of you. That way if someone is doing something illegal, such as hacking, the government or police can identify this person by their IP address, simmilar to a cars liscence plate.
Some hackers however, have found ways to steal peoples IP address by using special virusses called trojan horses. Once the hacker has stolen someones IP address, they can use it while hacking to avoid being caught.
stealing IP addresses is illegal and I will not be explaining how to do it here.
Sooo... someone used your webserver to defraud a bank. And, upon learning of this, some people at the bank took action to have your webserver removed from the net.
That sounds right, frankly. In fact, I wish it would happen more often. I really have very little sympathy for people who put insecure servers on the internet.
And what about the first time the WTC was bombed. The US wasn't occupying anybody then.
At the time of the WTC, we had a substantial number of troops in Saudi Arabia, and we've been propping up their corrupt, repressive dictatorship for years.
But, in response to the WTC bombings by dissident Sauds, we tucked our tails under our legs and pulled out of Saudi Arabia.
What are you? A 12 year old who sits in the basement who is trying to imagine what "computer engineers" do, and inadvertently made up some completely wrong bullshit?
Or, are you a 12 year old who sits in his basement who is trying to imagine the difference between Mac OS X and Linux, and inadverntely made up some completely wrong bullshit?
I disagree. I believe there is nothing to prevent a geek, nerd, goth, etc. from being a homicidal maniac. My point is that is that if you identify with the Columbine killers, it's because you're a homicidal maniac. It's not because you're a geek.
Why can't one be both a geek and a harborer of great secret fantasies?
Certainly, a person could be both. However, the Columbine killers were not. They were not "geeks," they were not picked on, and they did not kill their natural adversaries, "the jocks."
Dear Mr. Katz. I am 10. My parents took my computer away today, because of what they saw on television.
And yet he still sends email to Katz, on his computer. Maybe he should meet up with the boy with a burlap sack for a body, and they can share each other's pain.
The killers at Columbine weren't geeks, nerds, goths, dorks, weirdos, metalheads, skaters, or punks. They did not "break." They were what you describe as "normal" people, who just happened to be deranged psychopaths who wanted to kill people.
Anyone who sympathizes or identifies with the shooters does so because he or she harbors secret fantasies of being a psychopathic killer, not because he or she is a "geek."

On different papers, yes, the layouts would be different.
No, it won't. Any sane and sensible page layout program specifies the size of the print area, not the size of the margins. And, if your word processor allows you to set either, it's a pretty good indication that it's intended to be used as a page layout program, not as general purpose text editor.
If other word processors are making the mistake of copying MS Word's broken behaviour on something this simple, I shudder to think what other stupid mistakes the implementors are blindly copying instead of bothering to get right.
Not many people drive Ferrari sports cars either... yet you don't hear many people complaining that Ferrari is being prevented from getting to the mass market.
That's not a valid comparison. Ferrari sports cars use the same infrastructure as any other car: the same roads, the same fuel delivery network, the same vehicle registration laws, etc.
Right now, computers are much more like the railroads were a hundred and fifty years ago -- a mess of different, incompatible standards that don't work together, and are an impediment to wider adoption.

Internally, it should simply keep a seconds counter, and base all intervals off of that.
Sounds great, smart guy. Please tell me the exact number of seconds between, say, midnight January 1st, 1970, and midnight January 1st, 2070.
Oh wait... you can't, because of leap seconds.

I wish the 'MMO' developers had a history of playing MUDs. All these problems have been solved multiple times in the last fifteen or so years.
I haven't played a MUD for close to ten years, but I remember many of the same problems, only to a different degree.
Is there a MUD that currently works, so I can try it out, and see how they've "solved" these problems?

Well, that's what I got from the writeup, anyhow. The article itself is unreadable.
Wait... John Dvorak isn't the same Dvorak who made the keyboard layout?
Next, you'll tell us that John Katz isn't the same Katz who said "All your base are belong to us!"
Great idea. That will prove that his intentions were honorable, and the bank's actions were misguided.
